This isn't really different from what happens if you alter any object
defined by initdb. (There are limited exceptions now for GRANT/REVOKE,
but not for any other object property.)

I disagree. It is reasonable to point out that if you do that,
propagating your changes to new databases is your problem. But
the fact that you can mess with built-in objects has always been
seen as a feature not a bug, and I'm not willing to change that
approach, nor to start plastering random man pages with bright
yellow cautions against doing so. Having the code itself issue
complaints is right out.
